Flying into Avalon for the Airshow 2009 Question
Dear all,
Thinking of flying into Avalon aboard a Jetstar flight one day of the airshow this year. My question is, how do you get from the Jet* terminal to the airshow gates? Is it a short walk? Shuttle bus etc? Thanks all in advance. T. |

There are shuttle busses which meet every incoming flight, but NOT shuttle busses back to the terminal to meet outgoing flights as far as I know.

I was in the Avalon Terminal on December 28th and the structures for three giant marquees ( minus canvas ) were already in place.
The actual or Great Circle distance from the Terminal to the site is only about 400-500 metres but as Andrew said the taxiway gets in the way.

Whilst on the Avalon topic, I am in the process of deciding which Grandstand to choose (ie-Spitfire/Sabre/Meteor), and was after any advice for good seats? Row "M" perhaps??

Im flying to Tullamarine then hiring a car then taking the last flight home. Were in the Gold Pass area right next to the runway so I hope its good!
Any rough ideas what will be there? Last edited by Tim Bowrey; 22nd January 2009 at 01:47 PM. |

the plane was late getting into Sydney, so we were an hour late before getting on the plane, taxied out to 34R.. but the brakes hadn't cooled down so we cleared the runway and lined up again.. Of course, this made us late getting to Avalon, so we had to circle for a while waiting for a hole in the airshow. Moral of the story: If you're flying into the airshow, take the early flight. |

Surprising. I always thought RPT traffic into AV had right of way, and they would move airshow traffic out of the way for them. Seems this isn't the case. I'm sure Jetstar aren't overly happy about this arrangement!

Wouldn't it be better if it was a surprise?
